Don't answer this question if you don't want to matter, but I have Don't know why you brought this up,

but I did hear you discuss you had an extraordinary disagreement with your wife About yourself.

Do you know what I'm talking about by myself?

You mean yes?

Yeah You know this story do not listen with interest One night as you do we were talking about stuff And,

uh, and, uh, I just happened to have no interest in, and, of course, being circumcised, I said...

They were chatting.

They're married.

They were allowed. And she said...

She said, you're not circumcised.

I said, what do you mean?

You've only known me a few.. all my life.

I remember my mother telling me why, because it was fashionable at the time.

She said, you're not circumcised.

I said, that's ridiculous.

I should know if I'm circumcised.

Of course I am.

End of conversation.

But the next day, I happened to be seeing my doctor for... Are you okay?

I was seeing my doctor for my annual physical. Of course.

So, while he was down there...

I said...

Excuse me, Tom.

Oh, by the way, Irv...

My wife and I have a little disagreement.

I am circumcised, aren't I?

Because she says I'm not.

And he goes...

Not.

And she goes, no, no, no, it's not possible.

So he looked down again and he said, hey, I'm Jewish.

I know the difference. That is a bizarre

You're gonna have to change your Facebook status

There's more beef stew I Were you born in Hawaii?

I wasn't born in Hawaii.

I live there in San Francisco, but I did a lot of my growing up there So yeah, so it was it was a I don't know.

I don't think no You gave me a big speech like this is my land I started.

I did a story.

Now all of a sudden, Sam Fran.

It was Sam Fran that I transferred.

When we were there, he gave me a very, like, spiritual speech about how it all started.

How your mother held you over this cliff.

This is the cliff where I was born and my mother gave me this.

This is the problem.

That is the problem, yes.

Try to be respectful.

Hawaii was beautiful.

Beautiful, you know, mountainside and lushness, and we shot in this beautiful place called Kualoa Ranch where Jurassic Park, the original Jurassic Park was shot,

and the ones after that as well, and it was just amazing.

But you didn't like it, Kevin.

He hated it.

No, this is the problem.

I didn't like it at all.

I mean, outside of the spiritual grounds that you took me to, and I swore, you even sung a song.

You were like...

I have to share that with them.

I remember, we'll talk about it later.

Really?

How did the song go?

The song, you were like...

What's right?

You were like...

Kula Matana!

Yeah, that sounded like an original.

So did you bring your medals with you?

No. We did?

Oh, I thought you might be wearing them.

Oh, no, they're just casually in the back pocket.

Look, these are proper Olympic medals.

Wow.

Oh, Marion, have you seen an Olympic medal?

I actually did.

Because the French have beat us.

Oh, was it French people beat you?

Oh, the French got gold.

Is there anyone in Ireland who hasn't seen those medals?

They look like being round the block, those medals.

They're fairly tattered, yeah.

And, of course, now, Michael, down in Killarney, word must have reached you of the O'Donovan Brothers.

Oh, for sure.

I mean, I wasn't in Killarney at the time, but.. but everybody knew about it, that's for sure, yeah.

And Marianne, watching that clip, could you understand the accents?

Nothing, not a word.

I understood since.

Just that word.

You know what the movie set with Michael would is take Kerry accents.

LAUGHTER So, listen, it...

Because people loved the interviews you did during the Olympics, but, like, you guys knew you were being funny while you were doing the interviews.

I don't know.

LAUGHTER I think it was funny because they were being themselves.

Yeah.

Well, to be fair, we weren't trying to be serious, like...

Yeah, yeah.

It just...

Yeah.

It just kind of happened that way, like, eh...

You did seem very happy to be in Rio.

100

I was quite serious about the whole situation, though.

101

Everything we told us the truth, like.

102

Yeah.

103

I don't understand, like, people ask us these questions all the time after races, it just so happened they put a camera in front of us in Rio.

104

And also, you won a silver medal, so suddenly everyone was interested.

105

But the great thing is, like, Ireland has never won any medal in rowing before, haven't they?

106

Well, not at the Olympics, no, they have a few World Championship titles, all right, but it's the first Olympic medal, yeah.

107

Woo-hoo!

108

Very good.

109

And the interview where you talked about your approach to the race, the phrases you used in that, so explain to the people what you said in that.

110

Do you know which one?

111

What did we say?

112

About going A to B, fast as you can.

113

Oh, yeah.

114

Yeah, it's a fairly simple sport, like.

115

There's a start line and a finish line.

116

It's not quite complicated, like.

117

People do complicated life, and your men says, go at the start and there's a hooter at the finish, and if you can get them...

118

..go to the hooter, then...

119

Go on bullshit, like.

120

No, I'm trying to think, this is based on your life.

121

I mean, this is things...

122

Yeah, but...

123

I mean...

124

Loosely, Graham.

125

No, but things like, isn't the washing machine, that happened to you.

126

What?

127

The washing, you were very hungover.

128

Oh.

129

Yeah.

130

Tell Tony Foster that story.

131

All their stories are really cool though, Grail.

132

When I was teaching, which is what this show is based on, I went home one weekend and I was in my 30s.

133

I was probably 33 years of age.

134

I went home to see my mother and then I went back

135

and while I was at home my mother did my washing for me because I was only 33.

136

Then I went back and on the Sunday night

137

I got really drunk and then I went for a curry and then the next day I went into school

138

I'm gonna I went into school and it was a school in slow

139

and it was a quite a rough school

140

but they had a really brilliant hearing impaired department

141

so they were hearing impaired kids who you know struggled they

142

were they were really looked after in school anyway I was really hungover I went there And about break time, I felt really uncomfortable.

143

I thought, something's not right, you know?

144

So I went to the toilet, and I pulled my trousers down, and some of my mother's knickers had got...

145

..had got mixed up in the wash she'd done.

146

And I was wearing my mother's underwear.

147

And I went, oh, God, oh, no!

148

Oh, I remember going, oh, you loser, this is...

149

It's such a low point, you fucking loser. And then...

150

And then.. the curry and the booze.. the curry and the booze kicked in from the night before. So I...

151

I did like a fecal Jackson Pollock. And I started...

152

I started going, Oh, God, not this!

153

Not this as well!

154

Oh, Jesus!

155

So I cleaned myself up and I pulled my mother's pants back out.

156

And I went back into the classroom, and I saw one of the hearing-impaired kids just looking at me like this.

157

And that's when I remembered that I had a microphone directly...

158

Here we go.

159

A lot of young actors, they revere you, so they look to you.

160

But the other thing you inspire is impressions, Impressions people doing impressions that

161

when people do impressions of you is it like sort of nails on a chalkboard or do you kind of enjoy it?

162

No, I kind of enjoy it especially if they do it well So no, I it's great.

163

I Love it.

164

I only ask

165

No, because because any Hiddlestoners watching will know

166

Tom Hiddleston does impressive you do work pressure lots of you so who's in your canon?

167

It's a it's a expression of admiration to be clear.

168

So I do I do Impressions of people that I admire and I sort of listen to them.

169

I get the first time I did an impression

170

And anyone was aware of I was just telling a story

171

about midnight in Paris the Woody Allen film I was in and how I never had the whole script tonight, and I thought it was set in the 20s

172

and I turned up

173

and I bumped into Owen Wilson who didn't look like he was in the 20s at all

174

And and I said to him I said so wait how

175

and who are you playing cuz I'm playing F Scott Fitzgerald And I know Corey Stoll's playing on his Hemingway, and we're all playing figures of history and he went oh No, no, no, no, no, I'm from now.

176

I go back in town There's a time machine, you know.

177

It's kind of cool, and it's kind of woody, and you just kind of.. it's kind of awesome.

178

Very good!

179

Yeah.

180

But, uh, I've done...

181

I mean...

182

I've been made to do impressions of my fellow Avengers.

183

Um, uh, I think everyone does an impression of Christopher Walken, because he's just.. he's such an easy kind of...

184

You know, I feel like what this show needs...

185

It's more cowbell.

186

It depends on what you like me to say.

187

Basically, there's no punctuation.

188

Anything that comes out of my mouth.

189

I know whole pages of heat.

190

You surprise me.

191

It surprised me.

192

So there's a scene in the middle of the film, which you'll be familiar with.

193

You were there.

194

The one person you don't need to explain it to.

195

So look, there's a...

196

He remembers.

197

You're very good in this thing.

198

There's a scene in the middle of the film, which is...

199

Because Al Pacino and Robert De Niro...

200

He's back.

201

They're separated like a great thriller.

202

They're separated from for the entire film

203

and they meet twice once at the end of once in the middle and it takes place at a restaurant in LA.

204

It's a great scene.

205

It's one of the great pieces of screen acting you can hope to watch.

206

There it is.

207

There's a picture of it.

208

It's like it's a mutual recognition of each other.

209

Anyway, so there's a bit where they have like this sit and have coffee and have tea and talk about stuff.

210

I'm going on.

211

I apologize.

212

Anyway, so Al Pacino at one point, Al Pacino says this, he goes,

213

So, we're sitting here like a couple of regular fellas.

214

I mean, you do what you do, I do what I gotta do.

215

If I'm there, and I gotta put you away, I won't like it.

216

But if it's between you and some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow,

217

brother, you are going down." And then, and then, and so then,

218

and then it cut, and then Michael Mann cuts back to the esteemed gentleman at the end of the sofa.

219

What if you do got me boxed in?

220

I'm not gonna put you down.

221

Living face to face.

222

Yeah, but I will not hesitate.

223

Not for a second.

224

That's my...

225

This is so meta.

226

I feel like I've gone into a parallel universe where I Can Brown that was my favorite scene was a good everything.

227

Yeah, it's a still yeah

228

My favorite scene that was written before not because of doing it But I just my favorite scene written in the film, you know that that's a great piece of rice Yeah,

229

it feels like it plays in two in two singles in a way like yeah Yeah, yeah, and it's it's like the most beautiful game of tennis Did you each do lots of takes?

230

Did you do lots of takes?

231

I forget do lots of types of?

232

I don't think we did more than

233

Five to eight or nine at the moment maybe maybe less

234

You talk about your dreams and you talk about your life It's so great.

235

There's that bit another bit where you go

236

He says he says Pacino says So you never wanted a regular type life and Bob,

237

may I call you Bob?

238

Bob says, what's that, barbecues and ballgames?

239

Yeah.

240

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE And Julia, obviously your mother loves you because you're her daughter,

241

but she is actually sort of a fan as well.

242

No, it's not quite that.

243

It's...

244

No, she is.

245

Oh, goodness, right. So, my...

246

One day, my mum came to set on the Star Wars set, and I was getting this thing called Cyber Scanned, which is where you stand in this kind of...

247

Loads of cameras, and they kind of take your form and put you into a computer and make a toy, or some sort of merchandise,

248

or your face on a cushion. And so...

249

I go off and do this, and I come back, and mum's like, I've made a great friend.

250

I'm like, brilliant, it's lovely, excellent.

251

And she's like, it's the merchandised director of all of Star Wars or something.

252

And I'm like, wow, this is very impressive.

253

And then before I know it, what comes in the post is loads of cushions with my face on it.

254

So my own mum, she gets to see it a fair amount, you know.

255

But apparently it's not enough.

256

So I was kind of blown away at how much merchandise there is.

257

Yes, but also...

258

And it's just the beginning, it was like the pre-merchandise, not even the real stuff is out yet, and my mum has all of it.

259

But doesn't know about the doll yet, so we shall sell it.

260

This is so weird, I don't know, is this in your flat or her house?

261

Oh, God, right, OK, so basically, she thought it would be really funny if I came home and it was everywhere in my...

262

OK, so this is...

263

This is Amelia's actual bedroom.

264

Well...

265

LAUGHTER This is like a joke, and then... And then...

266

Oh, and then...

267

Oh, my goodness.

268

We found the photo.

269

But it's not like that now.

270

There is another reason why I'm single.

271

You took a first date back to that.

272

Yeah.

273

Come on in.

274

I just did this little thing once.

275

I don't have a CV, I just have a bedroom.

276

LAUGHTER But this is cool, though.

277

So your mother a big fan, but Brad Pitt also a very big fan.

278

That was the best night of my life.

279

Yes.

280

LAUGHTER Tell the story quickly.

281

Tell the story quickly.

282

We found a feeling, doing very interesting.

283

Yeah, there's a duvet.

284

We're all ears.

285

Sheets.

286

Slippers.

287

No, yeah, there was this auction thing that happened and they called me and said, you know, do you want to do you want to um auction something

288

off like maybe sort of an experience watching the show with you or something

289

and i was like okay it's lovely it's great for charity

290

yeah it'll be for some you know some something yeah

291

and it'll be fine anyway so i get there

292

and it's basically a good thing um i get there

293

and it's basically like this is basically it's the oscars like there's

294

so many celebrities in this room and i suddenly remember

295

that i said that i would auction something and the other person is coming off, and so the fear grows.

296

So I was petrified, absolutely petrified, and then the person whose table I was on is a friend

297

and he was being very kind and kind of put the paddle up and I was like, thanks very much, that's very sweet, that will be that.

298

And then someone else's paddle up went up across the other side of the room

299

and I didn't really know

300

and then suddenly it was sort of becoming a bit of money and I was kind of thinking, oh, this is absolutely mental, and someone went, it's Brad Pitt, and I was like, lol.

301

Yeah, exactly.

302

And I look over to the room and he's got his paddle up.

303

Brad's paddle.

304

Brad's paddle!

305

Was that kind of harmed in the experience?

306

No, not quite.

307

Well, it didn't work out, because the person who was my friend, I think it was probably all set up, the person who was my friend ended up, you know, doing the highest bid.

308

Boo!

309

Bad friend!

310

But, yeah, I just kind of looked over with just the most with just the most insane emoji heart eyes being like, this is just the greatest moment of my life.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
